("I don't consider it bill jacking," Hendon told me. "But no one wants to carry the ball 99 yards all the way to the one-yard line, and then give it to the halfback who gets all the credit and the stats in the record book." During his seventh and final year in the state Senate, Obama's stats soared. He sponsored a whopping 26 bills passed into law — including many he now cites in his presidential campaign when attacked as inexperienced. It was a stunning achievement that started him on the path of national politics — and he couldn't have done it without Jones.)

Asker's Comment:

Thank You.

Answer 2

Wright... I mean right.

Answer 3

Actually, it would be the same as disowning the fact that he's African-American. What's your point?
Didn't Clinton say that she was met in Bosnia by sniper-fire??

Answer 4

Yes, but the Rev. upped the ante by insinuating that Obama was being insincere. That tore it!

Answer 5

He said he cant disown his pastor because it would disown the black community. What a joke!

Answer 6

Yes that is what he said.

Hillary Clinton said she was going to Nuke Iran, and doesnt know what Red Bull is.

I think disavowing rev wright is relatively minor

Answer 7

Yes.

But you sure didn't see him throwing the good Rev. under the bus....did you?

Answer 8

Until it became politically prudent that he "had" to.

Answer 9

Right.

He also said it would be like disowning the entire Black Community.

Answer 10

Yes and he pretty much dished his grandma when he referred to her as white instead of just grandma.

Answer 11

Right and thank you for bringing that up.

Answer 12

But he changed . Remember his slogan? change!change!change!change!change!chang…

Answer 13

yes, but this spectacle of the last week is a political ploy, a game of "gotcha politics", Barry and Jerry are laughing at the voters who fell for their fake breakup.

This plays right into a passage from Barrack's book "dreams"

politicians could use race-baiting to overcome a host of limitations.

Answer 14

That's what was said previously. Now he is "outraged" by his "former" pastor. BTW, originally he blasted grandma as a "typical white person" and stood up for the racist bigot pastor.

It's too little and WAY too late.

Answer 15

true, but that was before the rev wright saw the media light, lit the dynomite, started the fight, proclaiming his right, to try and enlight, and stop the obamanation, and the situation, affecting this nation, and the intoleration, and flatulation, and the objectification. the man is a nut.

Answer 16

Well, 'Bama worded it a little differently, but the message was the same.

Answer 17

He also said he had never heard Wright say any of those terrible racial things or inflammatory remarks. Wright also mentioned that because he is such an inflammatory person, Obama would have to distance himself. Obama denied he knew anything about the things Wright said for awhile longer until it was proven he did know and was often present in church during many of the fiery speeches Wright made. Obama I do believe has already thrown his poor white grandmother under the bus calling her a racist ( while in his books I do believe he calls white people racial epithets ) so if Wright goes under the bus with her, who knows what Obama will do to all of us.

I think it is all a political game and that Obama and Wright remain close and that the spectacle made this week by Wright was to help people vote for Obama by making them feel as though he had been betrayed by his own pastor and thus making him the underdog, which Americans love to fight for.

Too many lies from them both about extremely important matters concerning our entire nation. I will never vote for Obama.

Q Q absolutely wonderful list of links. Thank you so very much for them!

Answer 18

He just mis-spoke again.....Every one has a BLACK sheep in their family

Answer 19

Nice to see you focusing on issues that will affect the country.

Answer 20

That pretty much sums it up. And if you noticed, Rev Wright didn't say anything in the last few days that he hasn't already said and Obama defended as typical of black churches. The only difference with Wright's recent comments is that he said Obama was politically posturing. So Obama's "offense" is not Wright's racist and anti-American comments, but his statement that Obama was simply being a politician.
